What I Actually Executed
I went to volunteer at Truly Living Well and when I got back, I focused on Tasks 1 and 2. I got a bit off track and didn't get to Task 4 and honestly I chickened out on Task 3. I got in my head and pushed it off. My mornings have been productive, but my afternoons and nights go downhill!
Results/Updates
I scheduled some more calls from people that responded to me. My contact at Amazon is going to apply for me internally for the positions I am interested in. Someone else that I emailed my resume to reached back out and let me know that they shared my resume with the hiring manager. I’m gaining traction.
Reflection
In the morning, I was on a high. I got up, did my Pilates, read my book, and then went to volunteer at Truly Living Well. I started to feel doubt about this journey and honestly a little bit of shame that I still feel like I’m running around just trying to find my fit in this industry. I have to stick to the plan. It’s been a roller coaster of emotions, but I know it will settle. Maybe I’m just being impatient. It’s only Day 15.
